THE ID CRISIS - The reason behind why so many citizens don't carry an ID, and who is to blame? By: Darius Ikemori 02/11/2024 After my most recent report on KPD fines, I discovered that one of the most common fines that KPD hands out to citizens is ‘Failure to possess a government ID’. That made me question, why is this fine so common. It's so easy to get an ID so why don't most citizens carry one on them or own one? I decided to look into the situation at hand and help determine why don't citizens carry an ID on them, and who is to blame for that. HOW MANY CITIZENS CARRY IDS ON THEM? First, we need to figure out how many citizens carry IDs on them. A pole was posted on onrain asking citizens if they carried an ID on them...

The ‘FINE’Print: All of KPD Fines and what is the least and most common ones By: Darius Ikemori 02/07/2024 *Credit too @ceruleanrocket came up with the title* We all hate losing money, especially when it comes to losing it to fines that police hand out.

So today, I’ll be discussing all of KPD’s fines All of KPD’s Fines As stated...

“Hello?” “Hi?” “Anyone There?”: Misusing 110 and how it affects our Government, and what they are doing about it! By: Darius Ikemori 02/06/2024 Every day KPD and EMS get at least ten plus 110 calls. Whether it be about a fight at a powerplant, someone getting injured and needing medical assistance, a robbery or more.

KARAKURA NEWS Topic written by Akiko Nakamura (WhiteSnowy1737) January 11, 2024 Hello Karakura! How is everyone doing? Have you noticed that it's still cold and it's still winter? However, where is the snow?! What happened to the snow? Simply the most fun everyone was having suddenly disappeared, apparently the temperature increased a little, enough to make it melt. This comes from physics, where for water to solidify, it has to be below 0º, as water droplets freeze and when they fall, they come out in flakes, not as drops of water. Well, as our island is not located in the extreme north, it is normal for this to happen, not to mention that we are getting closer and closer to spring. However, still wear warmer clothes, as it...
